  • Title: [Urinary incontinence in men--a neglected problem? A quarter of all 80-year old men suffer of urinary leakage].
    Author: Fall M.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 1999 May 05; 96(18):2227-31. PubMed ID: 10377665.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence is an increasing health problem in industrialised countries, and has been shown to affect more the eight per cent of the adult population. Incontinence accounted for about two per cent of Swedish health care costs in 1990, and the costs are rising. Although the diagnosis and treatment of female incontinence has attracted more attention since the condition is more prevalent among women, the impact on quality of life is no less among men. As a variety of causes and underlying diseases may result in involuntary urine leakage, careful evaluation is mandatory before treatment is initiated. The article consists in a review of common diagnoses and treatment options in cases of male incontinence.
